A place to meme about the glorious ROMAN EMPIRE (and Roman Republic, and Roman Kingdom)! Byzantines tolerated! The HRE is not.
RULES:
No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, bigotry, etc. The past may be bigoted, but we are not.
Memes must be Rome-related, not just the title. It can be about Rome, or using Roman aesthetics, or both, but the meme itself needs to have Roman themes.
Follow Lemmy.world rules.

Explanation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorem_ipsum
Lorem ipsum is typically a corrupted version of De finibus bonorum et malorum, a 1st-century BC text by the Roman statesman and philosopher Cicero, with words altered, added, and removed to make it nonsensical and improper Latin. The first two words themselves are a truncation of dolorem ipsum ("pain itself").
to make it nonsensical and improper Latin.
As if Cicero ever makes sense.
As if ever, in the course of all the events of history, within the esteem of men of good birth and breeding, a noble and worthy propriety, correctly and adroitly considered, to a narrow and witless imprisonment of comprehensibility should be wed!
